Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fresh cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, and parsley leaves thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, fresh parsley leaves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, peeled garlic clove, honey, salt, and ground black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and emulsified. If the dressing is too thick, add the water one tablespoon at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or dressing bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Before using, give the jar a good shake to recombine any separated ingredients.
